Campfire 12
Cynthia Cooley
In Pittsburgh, I paint the fiery interiors of steel mills. I wanted to show this same heat and energy in Campfire 2 and 3. In Campfire 13 my husband watches the fire with the full moon across the bay beyond. Campfire 10 is my son, the guitarist, leading the singing with my granddaughter. Campfire 14 is my daughter and daughter-in-law enjoying wine around the fire. Campfires 9 and 11 are granddaughters toasting marshmallows. Campfire 12 shows my 3 granddaughters celebrating July 4. In all these, I recreate happy memories of pre-covid times. Staying home during the pandemic led me to reflect on all the family gettogethers I had expected to continue.
